Transfer Market: Amorim outcast reaches agreement with Barcelona
Marcus Rashford set to leave Manchester United but still has to wait for Catalans
Having been left out of Manchester United ‘s squad since last year and having not played since December 12, Marcus Rashford is on his way out of Ruben Amorim’s side and has already reached an agreement with Barcelona , according to Catalan newspaper Sport , who only want to sign him on loan. However, the Blaugrana’s financial situation could make the deal difficult.
The club, which has Deco as sporting director, has to reduce the squad’s wage bill, because it would have to cover Rashford ‘s entire salary , which, according to the same source, involves an investment of nine million euros. The player is willing to wait for Barcelona to resolve this issue, which should involve an agreement with Manchester United regarding the distribution of the salary burden, or another move in the Spanish squad.
Ansu Fati and Eric García are the most likely names to leave Barça in January, as both have been underused by coach Hansi Flick. Therefore, only after the sale of one of these players – or another, depending on the offers that come in – could Marcus Rashford leave Man. United to move to Catalonia.
If confirmed, Barcelona will be only the second club in Rashford ‘s career , having previously played for Manchester United , where he also trained. A relationship between club and player spanning almost 20 years will soon be coming to an end.
